Yeah, that was a cool looking car too. Nice deal except for guys bent on having a Grande Parisienne!!!
Yes... I must say...I don't know what it is about these cars..but when it bites you... your done. There's no turning back. They're Addictive !! Good thing I have a very Loving wife that understands this and puts up with all my crap. Although she does like the Crusin nights we have together.

ya know its amazing what I ve paid for some beater sitting around for 20 years just trying to save it from "I'm going to fix it someday" When you compare buying a turn key driver
Been there done that and still have the bodies. Boy this car and my other parts 66 grande car from three hills would make one good Grande if the guy would sell it for what it is actually worth.
From what I can see on the photos the date on the block is about right as well. i wonder if he has the rest of it stored away at least.
He says he does have all the bits and pieces...but he also told me on the phone when I first talked to him...that the 396 was in the basement, and as you can clearly see it is ...well...in the great out doors!

Jim, what else are you looking for? Not sure if you had seen it but I got this car in the fall...............

And since we are on this topic, this particular car had the steering column laying on the floor and when I picked it up I noticed this on the firewall attachment plate.... Has anyone had the option sticker found in this position?
I have not parted many of these cars but this doesn't seem the usual, does it?

(lol) You did read it, eh???? For those that didn't read what I posted, what I did say was to the extent of, "I have not parted many of these cars, as some gentlemen have, but this doesn't seem the usual, does it?"
Then I thought about it, didn't want to single out any particular person/people on the site or otherwise and decided to edit it.... But low and behold, I was caught...........
Good eye and memory Carl... Good eye!!! (lol)
